Lack Of Support Prevents People With Disabilities From Entering Third-Level Education

An Ennis activist says third level education institutions need to be more proactive in supporting those with disabilities.

A new report from the ESRI and National Disability Authority is highlighting how a lack of support for people with disabilities is preventing them from moving from second-level to further education.

The research suggests people with disabilities are also more likely to live in poverty and less likely to be working.

Dermot Hayes, member of the Clare Leader Forum says ideally, all children need to go to mainstream schools.
